This is a template to generate links to [[Internet Movie Database]], '''used exclusively for ''PEOPLE'''''.

To link a movie, use {{tl|imdb title}} instead.
This template is used to generate an external link to a web page for a person in the [[IMDb|Internet Movie Database]]. It is intended for use in the [[Wikipedia:External links|external links]] section of an article.


=== Options ===
: ''For a work (film/movie, TV or Web program/series, video game, etc.), use {{Tl|IMDb title}}.''
The required parameter is just the ID number (for backward compatibility, the parameter can be named <code>id</code>) and the template then uses the article title as the [[anchor text]]:
: ''For a specific TV episode or Web series episode, use {{Tl|IMDb episode}}.''
<pre>
: ''For an episode list, use {{Tl|IMDb episodes}}.''
* {{imdb name|ID}}
: ''For a company, use {{Tl|IMDb company}}.''
</pre>
: ''For an event, use {{Tl|IMDb event}}.''
To have the link text be other than the article name, use second parameter (for backward compatibility, it can be named <code>name</code>):
<pre>
* {{imdb name|ID|Name}}
</pre>


This can be used when the Wikipedia page name contains disambiguation brackets; for example at the page [[José Molina (writer)]] use <nowiki>{{</nowiki>imdb&nbsp;name|0596711|José Molina}} to have "{{imdb name|0596711| José Molina}}" rather than "{{imdb name|0596711| José Molina (writer)}}". This is also necessary should you need to add an IMDb link to an article about somebody or something other than the linked person (for example, if you include the IMDb link for [[Bette Davis]] in the [[Joan Crawford]] article, you must specify Bette Davis's name as the text for the link using this option).
== Usage ==
If the subject of the Wikipedia article is the same as the IMDb page, only ID number is required. The template then uses the Wikipedia article name as the [[anchor text]].
* {{tlcw|{{BASEPAGENAME}} | <var>ID</var> }}
* {{tlcw|{{BASEPAGENAME}} | id{{=}} <var>ID</var> }}


Note that the options include the "<tt>*</tt>" for a bulleted list since this is most likely to be used in an "External links" section.
To have the link text be other than the article name, use second parameter. This is necessary when adding an IMDb link to an article about somebody or something other than the linked person (for example, if you include the IMDb link for [[Bette Davis]] in the [[Joan Crawford]] article, you must specify Bette Davis's name as the text for the link).
* {{tlcw|{{BASEPAGENAME}} | <var>ID</var> | <var>NAME</var> }}
* {{tlcw|{{BASEPAGENAME}} | id{{=}} <var>ID</var> | name{{=}} <var>NAME</var> }}


== Detailed instructions ==
The parameter {{Para|section}} can be set to <code>award</code> (alternatively <code>awards</code>) or <code>bio</code> (alternatively <code>biography</code>) to link to the awards or biography section for that person.
# Copy and paste one of the options above into the article
* {{tlcw|{{BASEPAGENAME}} | <var>ID</var> | <var>NAME</var> | section{{=}} <var>SECTION</var> }}
# Go to http://www.imdb.com and search for the person you want (say, Jack Nicholson; you'll reach <code>http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=Jack+Nicholson</code>)
* {{tlcw|{{BASEPAGENAME}} | id{{=}} <var>ID</var> | name{{=}} <var>NAME</var> | section{{=}} <var>SECTION</var>}}
# Click on the correct Jack Nicholson in the list:
 
## <code>[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000197/ Jack Nicholson](Actor, [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073486/ One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest] (1975))</code>
The ID number may be omitted if the article's [[Wikidata]] item includes property {{Property|345}}.
# You then reach the page with [[URL]] looking like <tt>http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000197/</tt> (or other 7-digit number)
* {{tlcw|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}
# Copy '''only''' that number (here, "<code>0000197</code>"), omitting the "<code>nm</code>" but keep all the leading zeros (though IMDB currently seems to be able to add them as needed)
* {{tlcw|{{BASEPAGENAME}} | name{{=}} <var>NAME</var> }}
# Replace "<tt>ID</tt>" in the template code with the number
* {{tlcw|{{BASEPAGENAME}} | name{{=}} <var>NAME</var> | section{{=}} <var>SECTION</var>}}

This template uses the Wikidata property: Lua error in Module:Uses_Wikidata at line 13: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value).

This template is used to generate an external link to a web page for a person in the Internet Movie Database. It is intended for use in the external links section of an article.

For a work (film/movie, TV or Web program/series, video game, etc.), use {{IMDb title}}.
For a specific TV episode or Web series episode, use {{IMDb episode}}.
For an episode list, use {{IMDb episodes}}.
For a company, use {{IMDb company}}.
For an event, use {{IMDb event}}.

Usage

If the subject of the Wikipedia article is the same as the IMDb page, only ID number is required. The template then uses the Wikipedia article name as the anchor text.

  • {{IMDb name | ID }}
  • {{IMDb name | id= ID }}

To have the link text be other than the article name, use second parameter. This is necessary when adding an IMDb link to an article about somebody or something other than the linked person (for example, if you include the IMDb link for Bette Davis in the Joan Crawford article, you must specify Bette Davis's name as the text for the link).

  • {{IMDb name | ID | NAME }}
  • {{IMDb name | id= ID | name= NAME }}

The parameter |section= can be set to award (alternatively awards) or bio (alternatively biography) to link to the awards or biography section for that person.

  • {{IMDb name | ID | NAME | section= SECTION }}
  • {{IMDb name | id= ID | name= NAME | section= SECTION }}

The ID number may be omitted if the article's Wikidata item includes property (P345).

  • {{IMDb name}}
  • {{IMDb name | name= NAME }}
  • {{IMDb name | name= NAME | section= SECTION }}
